you will just have to grind through several Contract Hunts to meet the
requirements.
Infrared is an indispensable tool, especially for targets which have dark fur.
Infrared is also your best friend during night hunts. This is the best tool to use in
establishing the location of the animal’s internal organs. Don’t go nuts on
upgrades, but it does not hurt to max out the infrared early on if you want
accurate shots. It is a cheap tool to use and it will help you breeze through hunts
in no time.
When you fail at a hunt, it is not the end of the world. Don’t dwell too much on it
and don’t think that it was just a waste of time. You can still earn a certain
amount of cash unsuccessful hunts.
Your aim should always be the heart or the lungs if you want to drop a target with
just one hit.
These hits cause serious damage. You also need to be open to adding
cash bonuses at the end.
There are hunts involving multiple targets. In such cases, it is best to find an angle
that groups the targets together. The bolt-action rifle does not allow the taking of
consecutive shots. You’ll fare better if you don’t have to spend too much time in
relocating the targets.
For multiple targets, make sure get an angle which groups them altogether. In
fact, you won’t be able to take consecutive shots with standard bolt-action rifles,
so the less time you have to spend repositioning targets the better it’ll be.
When you are hunting carnivores, consider letting them get close despite your
initial misgivings. This will pay off when you are hunting a pair of wolves and you
get them with heart shots immediately. It may end up problematic for you if you
first line up one and track the other while trying to avoid them bolting straight at
you after a failed shot. You can opt to use the shotgun and wait till it gets closer.
You can get a fatal shot with this strategy. When they get close time slows down a
bit and a heart icon appears. This should help you in securing the shot.
